Interesting Information from Colorado Springs Pediatric Dentistry?



Zach Houser, Derek Kirkham, Jeff Kahl



Derek, Zach and I are parents who just happen to look into children’s mouths for a living.  As parents we filter a great deal of what we read, and see, through the experience that comes with raising our children.  That experience generates a lot of questions.  Not all of those questions are easily answered, even the dental related ones.

Why is the title a question? There are many sources for information on the internet, particularly related to children’s wellness and dentistry.  In fact our website has a great deal of general information about frequently asked questions in pediatric dentistry (http://www.cspediatricdentistry.com/).  Still what happens when the issue is not general?  Or what if a story or opinion presented in the national or local media is controversial?  What about the parent who comes in and asks a really good question that has not been addressed before?  I often tell parents that they could not possibly ask me something that I had never heard before. Still I sometimes find myself scratching my head. This blog is an attempt to answer the “interesting” questions or to clear up misconceptions that may come up.

My hope is that the information here may be interesting enough that you might occasionally ask questions, or even take home a more useful way to approach dental care with your children. So why is the blog called “The Tiny Tooth”?  My daughter thought it was cool; she is seven and claims to be an authority on such things, so I went with it.
